Mini Decapod Fountain Pen
Aka-tamenuri (Reddish-Red) Ishi-Kanshitsu
|
This the Mini Decapod is a newer and shorter version of the full-size Decapod that we have come to know and love. The Mini is an answer to those who find the full-size pen too long for their pockets, yet want a pen that is long enough to fit the hand. (The tail of this pen comes above the web between the thumb and finger of a big fisted guy.)

The facets of this fountain
pen follow from end to end in a long smooth curve. It is a shape
that can be described by pure geometry except that it is subtly
more complex. In the end it is the eye and the hand that this
shape most satisfies. |
|
The ten sided shape has another
function. Because it is not round in cross section it is not
likely to roll off a desk. The yellow pencil evolved from a
cylinder shape to be a faceted. The Decapod gives facets an
entire new meaning. |
The closed length of this pen is just over five inches, the barrel, not including the nib and feed is about 3 3/4". It has the same long gripping section as the full size pen. See out Pen Measurements page for more comparisons. |
